The Amazing Survivor Race

Good news on both fronts: GC is gone from Survivor: Gabon and the blondes are gone from The Amazing Race.

GC deserved to go. And it tells you how much his tribe mates wanted him gone when they could have voted out Sugar, who has the immunity idol found on Exile Island. They even talked about backdooring Sugar, but in the end, they got rid of a cancer that quit on his team several times.

As for the blondes, Marissa and Brooke: If it's possible, you set the blonde nation back another 20 years. After finding out they were going to Auckland, New Zealand, Marisa wondered if the people there will like blondes as her cohort Brooke noted that they probably already have blondes in that country, since they’re not, like, rare or anything. As Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchors Seth and Amy would say, "Really!"

But the best line of the night came from Dallas, when he was talking about his mom Toni having to deal with the natives during a Roadblock on Mount Eden. One team member had to choose an image of a tattoo worn by Maori warriors and match it to the face of an actual warrior. Dallas said he hoped the Maori don’t “eat his mom.” Now that's funny.

In the end, Ken and Tina took one of two Fast Forwards this season: Go directly to the Auckland Skytower, the tallest building in the Southern hemisphere at 1,076 feet, climb to the top and “pick up a friend," which happened to be a Travelocity Roaming Gnome! The gnome got them a trip to Rio. Bitches.

A bonus: With Phil on the mat in his native New Zealand was his dad, John!

Next week: Sarah's Terence (what a wuss) gets pulled over by the cops -- a traffic violation or hair crimes? Also, Kelly and Christy get nasty, making fun of Dallas’ hair and calling him Teen Wolf. Now there's an '80s reference we didn't need.
